Long Shadow - Della Mae

It’s a long shadow that follows me

It’s the end of a day that promises me

That I will see, oh I will see

The morning

It’s a quiet room that calls my name

It gives me something, takes my shame

So I can sing, oh I can sing

'Til morning

My mother had a painter’s hand

It’s not 'til now I understand

How she could paint through the night

'Til morning

But now her ghost, it beckons me

To carry sounds across the sea

And I won’t stop, oh I won’t stop

'Til morning

It’s a long shadow

From where I stand

All along, I did follow

All the long, I was there

It’s a gravel road that leads me home

A place where safe is all I’ve known

'Til I went down, stepped down

Against their mornings

To be alone and in the wild

Like a tree, like a child

It gave me strength to fight through

To the morning

It’s a long shadow

From where I stand

All along, I did follow

All the long, I was there

It’s a long shadow

All the long, I was there
